Last Seen 70s/80s Movie

[cheebacheeba]

I saw "John Carter" last night.
I was SO fucked up when I went...my brother and I had about a 15 minute "don't laugh" session. So SO wasted.
That said it was an entertaining film with some brilliant visuals, and IMO a pretty hot female lead.
It's pretty popcorn, but definitely worth a look for those that like adventure films.

"Paranormal activity 3" (2011)

Plot: IMDB
In 1988, young sisters Katie and Kristi befriend an invisible entity who resides in their home.

Phantom's Review: Entertaining prequel. The plot is basically the same as the first two films, but with a little faster pacing. Some good "BOO" scenes and the actors do a fine job, but this whole documentary style "found footage" type of movie is starting to wear a bit thin for me. Overall, a decent film.

I watched "I stand alone" and damn, it felt like I was watching the movie about myself. Didn't get the ending though. So did he fuck his own daughter or what was the deal? Anyhow, it seemed to make him feel better. poor dude

>> The Burning Moon (1997): B+

A low budget German shocker with over the top gore. Though cast & their acting were very amateurish but overall pretty impressive effort. An earlier film from Olaf Ittenbach, looking forward to see his House of Blood & the latest film No Reason very soon.

>> The Grey (2012): C+

>> The Bunny Game (2010): C-

I don't mind grotesque-disturbing films as long as it comes with some interesting premise, story or characters. But hate pointless showcase of torture, gore or nudity in most cases. Here, in The Bunny Game, IMO they just tried to make a 'torture-porn' straightaway. And overall the product came out simply disgusting!

>> ATM (2012): C-

Another Terribly-stupid Movie.

Yeah..seen it lately. Bit slow but not bad and oh, that chick was hot.

Adrift (2009) Far better than I expected it to be. After I got over the hilarity of the situation I was surprised that there was some substance to it. Though the ending was a cop out.

Death Line (1972) Fantastic british horror with claustrophobic atmosphere to die for. Remarkable camera work of it's time with long drawn out shots which showcase the set pieces in all there full glory. Plus a dark humour and awesome performance from Donald Pleasance makes this a must-see.

Night of the Living Dead 3D: Re-Animation (2012)

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1879012/

Jeffrey Combs
Andrew Divoff

too bad

Sounds like something I have to seek out. Early 70's stuff was pretty good if I recall correctly.

The Whisperer in Darkness (2011)



Though mostly dialog driven, but this is a beautifully directed, very fine Lovecraft-adaptation by the folks from the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society, who also produced The Call of Cthulhu (2005). This time with sound, but still in black and white; and the finale comes with an action-packed surprise significantly altered from the original source but pretty entertaining.

I'm sure Ferox already checked this out, so recommending it to all other Lovecraft fans of HDC.

>>: B+

Crime d'amour aka Love Crime (2010)



A 'plotted murder-mystery' resulting from a Corporate catfight!

>>: B

Special Forces (2011)



A French War-action flick about a French journalist (Diane Kruger) in Afghanistan who kidnapped by the Taliban & then rescued by the French Special Force.
The way the crazy Taliban fighters are portrayed in the film...they were like simply douchebags! (I'm not sure, may be they are!) They had no war-strategy or the strategy for the heavy gun fights. Instead firing from behind any cover, they just stood up, ran & expose themselves to enemy fire and dropping like flies all over.

Pretty cliched & mediocre effort.

Not 100% sure about the serial inspired action bits but I did enjoy the hell out of it..
